for an example i had to get a new ome wheel.... i found the new wheel for 114$ shipping cost me 128.... for my lift i had to pay 300 for shipping. it just a huge kick in the balls. i wish i knew how to weld

I'm starting to wonder if the front skid is really necessary.. I have never come close to smashing my front into anything. When I get my bumper, I might just dump it It does give the WK a nice mean look thought!

You should check out my IRO event and 4XGuard testament thread. I put all my skids to the test that weekend. The front skid supported the whole weight of the front end on a rock. The only thing that gave way was the cheap radiator support and the drivers side mount for the front skid was bent. After some heating and bending all is back to normal. The skid is scratched and marred pretty good but not bent.
